The HyperVM control panel should be included for free by any hosting company that offers it. This is a very common configuration and it shouldn't be difficult to find a Linux VPS running a Ubuntu 8 operating system. but it is very likely that they will also give you the option to choose an advanced control panel for an additional fee. so if the hosting company has a charge for it. the virtual part is referring to the fact that they're not going to ship the server to your house. This is what we need. a Virtual Private Server. This is what gives us the ability to access the server from our home computer (via the internet). 2) Control Panel: HyperVM Control Panel This is the control panel we need to have pre-installed on the VPS. You absolutely should not have to pay for the HyperVM control panel. Linux Ubuntu 8 is the operating system we need to have pre-installed on the VPS. . a. There are many different control panels on the market. * Any version of Ubuntu 8 will be fine. you will access it via the virtual world.Hosting Package Requirements 1) Operating System: Unmanaged Linux VPS (Virtual Private Server) running a Ubuntu 8 * 32Bit (Not 64Bit) When you get to the hosting company's website look for the section on VPS's. It's totally private. Most likely at this time it will be 8. That does NOT mean that it's virtually private. but HyperVM is the exact one that we need. the internet. In fact.10.k. find a new hosting company. There is absolutely no need for us to use an advanced control panel. the HyperVM is the only one we want to use. At worst. this search string will probably work best: vps hypervm ubuntu Those four requirements are all that we need to get started: 1) Linux VPS with a Ubuntu 8 Operating System – 32Bit (Not 64Bit) 2) HyperVM control panel 3) 256 Meg Ram (minimum) 4) 150 Gig Bandwidth (minimum) You should be able to get this VPS Hosting Package for $10 or less per month. It's quite rare for someone to set up a totally private proxy for their own personal use like we are. if you tell them what you're doing.3) Dedicated RAM (Random Access Memory): 4) Bandwidth: 256 Meg (minimum) 150 Gig (minimum) If you're going to search for this on Google. and thus. if they don't allow it. It's a good idea to contact the hosting company with an email to ensure that you will be getting what you think you are getting. Trust me. potentially get their IP's blocked. If they don't specifically say that you cannot have a proxy on an Unmanaged VPS. It's NOT necessary to ask them if they allow you to put a proxy on their “Unmanaged” VPS servers. . then you're fine. Some companies get nervous when they hear the word proxy because they expect that someone is setting up a Free Public Proxy for anyone to use and thus. all you'll have to do is find a different hosting company. You don't need any extra attention. they will probably put you on a watch list and monitor your VPS much more closely to make sure you're not abusing their IP's. they will make that very clear on their website. Although most hosting companies DO allow you to put proxies on their “Unmanaged” VPS servers (but NOT on their “Managed” VPS servers) there is NO reason to specifically ask them that. rather than asking about it in an email. so it's better to just look around their website and make sure that it doesn't specifically forbid proxies on their Unmanaged VPS's. You will need the information in this email before you can start turning your VPS into an Elite-Proxy-Server. Log in to your HyperVM control panel with your username and password (from the email the hosting company sent you). After you've logged in. the hosting company will send you another email letting you know that your VPS is ready for you to access. STEP 2: Paste-in New Source File Click on the “File Manager” Icon. And then usually within about 24 hours after that. STEP 1: Login to Your New Virtual Private Server Open your web browser (Mozilla Firefox Recommended) and Copy the internet address of your VPS (from the email the Hosting company sent you) and paste it into your web browser's address field and hit the “enter” key or the “go” button. the HyperVM control panel will open. just like you would to go to any website. You only need to care about these two sections: The “Console Access” icon. The File Manager will open and display a list of directories (folders) and files. It's probably a good idea to “bookmark” this web address for easy future access. The HyperVM control panel's log in page will open. .Turning Your VPS into an Elite-Proxy-Server After you've completed your order the hosting company will send you an email confirming your purchase. This email has very important information in it that you'll need to log in to and configure your VPS. and the “File Manager” icon. list” file you just cleared out: deb http://archive.

A display will open asking you to name the folder/directory. you will see another icon named “Newfile”. In this “Folder Name” box type in the word “Temp” (without the quotes) Be sure to use a capital T in the word Temp (this is case-sensitive). Just above the file manager where the “NewDir” icon was. Your new Temp folder/directory should now be displayed in the list of directories in the root menu of your file manager. Click on this new Temp directory to open it. a text box will open asking you to name your new file. Click on the “NewDir” icon along the top of the file manager display. STEP 3: Paste-in Proxy Software Code Click on the “File Manager” Icon again. In that text box type. We need to create a new file to go into this new Temp directory.

HOWEVER: You will NEVER use two consecutive spaces. You may also NOT be able to use the "Back" button. You will have to type every character exactly. in yours it will show the name you named it when you got the hosting package from the hosting company. IMPORTANT: In all of my Code below that you will need to type. root@myvps:/# Click on the WHITE CURSOR box after the # sign and then type the . Once the Console is ready to use. I have used two spaces to represent ONE SPACE so that you can more easily SEE that there needs to be a space. You have to type everything perfectly in here. it's Only ONE SPACE.

Wherever you see a space. you have to hit the "enter" key on your keyboard and start over. but without the dot). the last line inside the console display will show this root directory command prompt with a white cursor box at the end of it (remember myvps is just an example. This is also true for under_scores. I've done this for easy visual recognition of the space because the space in my word processor isn't very big and it was difficult to tell whether or not I intended for there to be a space (especially before and after a slash / ). You will NOT be able to use copy/paste inside the console. / try it again without the .sh It should look like this: root@myvps:/Temp# chmod u+x proxy.sh It should look like this: root@myvps:/Temp# .

A few different times while it's working.proxy. to answer yes to the question. You MUST answer with a “y” and the “Enter” each time this happens. You will know when it's done because it will stop fluttering and your Root Command Prompt will again be the last line in the Console view. This will take several minutes. Wait until it's Completely Finished what it's doing. (this will probably happen three times). Don't worry about what it says. Remember the Console Access area is very sensitive. You will see the console view start fluttering with a bunch of white words and characters.sh root@myvps:/Temp# proxy. STAY IN THE CONSOLE STEP 5: Create Your New IP Account and Password Click on the White Cursor box at the end of the root directory and Type in: . Type the password again and hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard. The next line will request a password. The command prompt will now look like this: root@myvps:/etc/squid3# STAY IN THE CONSOLE Click on the White Cursor box Type the following: htpasswd /etc/squid3/squid_passwd account1 It should look like this: root@myvps:/etc/squid3# htpasswd /etc/squid3/squid_passwd account1 Hit “Enter” key on keyboard. Type in a password and hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard.cd /etc/squid3 It should look like this: root@myvps:/Temp# cd /etc/squid3 Hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard. The next line will request that you enter the password again to confirm. * This should be a simple password you can easily remember and it should . NOT be the same password the hosting company gave you to access your HyperVM and Console. If you forget this password you will have to completely rebuild your proxy. This is your own server. No one can get your password back for you. The server is searching for the location of the “ncsa_auth” file and will return the location of this file. Type this: find / -name ncsa_auth It should look like this: root@myvps:/etc/squid3# find / -name ncsa_auth Hit the “Enter” key on keyboard. You will have to delete everything in your VPS and start again from the beginning of this manual and set up your elite proxy all over again. Your console display should now look like this: root@myvps:/etc/squid3# find / -name ncsa_auth . This is NOT some website that will reset your password for you and email it to you. IMPORTANT: If you forget this password there is no way to get it back. For this reason I highly recommend using a simple password you will never forget.

BUT if you got a different location than this one. Be very careful. you need to write it down. Scroll down and Click on the “squid3” directory. Check it Carefully. The text editor will appear. We will need this location of the “ncsa_auth” file in the next step. Click on the “etc” directory again. Be sure to select the “EDIT” tab on the text editor. there are other files in here that look very similar. so be certain the EDIT tab is selected or you will have to re-do all your work.
